Why didn’t she just call in sick?

A Denver elementary school teacher is accused of making a phony bomb threat at the Catholic school where she taught, authorities said on Tuesday.

Jennifer Gomes, 42, a teacher at the Escuela de Guadalupe school in Denver, is charged with one count of false reporting of explosives, said Lynn Kimbrough, spokeswoman for the Denver District Attorney’s Office.

Gomes admitted to police that she placed a note outside the school’s main entrance earlier this month that read, “There is a bomb inside,” according to a probable cause statement.
